Tm: recent ('zililnl‘nia electiun is
a sweeping Republican vietury, giv
ing the party the Governor, to. um
jority of the legislature, and, it is
thought. all the Congressmen but
ope. In Maine, the result as far as
heard from indicates a like sweeping
majority throughout the state.
Davis, the Republican candidate for
Governor, is undoubtedly electml hy
ahandsome majority. The next U.
S. Senate and House. of Representa
tives will exhibit marked Republi
can gains.
Mash]. P. W. Packard, late of
Illinois, has canvassed Port Town
send this week, and secured a large
number of names to a certificate
expressing disapproval of censorship
Over the private correspondence of
any inmate of an insane asylum.
Mrs. P. claims, and very justly too,
that the present. system renders it
possible {or Superintendents of asy- ‘
lums to greatly abuse their power.
Giving her own experience as an il
lustration,she shows very clearly how
a person could be incarcerated
(where the superintendent could be
bribed) and all earthly hope of re
lief cut off. Since her release a few
years ago she has labored in about
fifteen states and territories, and se
cured bills favoring her views in
abouts. dozen cases. .She willat
tend the sitting of our legislature
this fall and make at attempt to have l
the law changed. She claims, with
good reason, that although our ter
ritorial asylum is in excellent hands
there is nothing in the uay of cure
that will equal prevention.
KALLOCH is elected Mayor of San
Francisco, by a. majority of nearly tl
thousand. The shooting afl'ray, in
which he came so near losing his ‘
life, secured his election—because of
a large number who imagined him a
martyr. A copy of the S. F. Week
ly “Index,” of Aug. 281 h, gives the
exact language used by Kalloch,
which provoked the assault. lt cites
lacts also to prove that Kalloch in
tended to attack the DoYonngs and
their mother before the elder Kal
lock was attacked by the “Chronicle‘.
Whether this be true or not, the lan
guage used proves the newly elect
ed Mayor to be a man of brutal and
filty instincts; a man who is not on
ly a disgrace to the Christian minis- ‘
try but to the society that tolerates
him. We do not propose to defend
DeYoung‘s action in shooting the
villifier of his mother. because one
wrong action does not justify anoth
er; but if he had tamely submitted he
would have been despised as one
who had not spirit and manliness
enough to defend the honor and rep
utation of his helpless female relu
tivea. Kallock’s language was so
vile and revolting that it would have
disgraced a brothel, and the fact that
be was elected Mayor of San Fran
cisco after its use in a public speech,
indicates a prevailing influence on
the aide of low morale in that city.
Umox Autumn—This institul‘
tion, located in. Olympia, was the
subject of inimice! criticism in u re

place. The utxclc been unmisteke

lmvz. Stigulurly unfortunate in l'e~
grird to lwr school interests. The
pulilic spirited cll'ort, on the part of
Sonic of llt‘l‘ host citizens to build up
ngrudvd school that would do her
honor and largely obviate the nones
sity of sending children away to be
educated has been met and crippled
by a petty spirit of jealousy and dis
sention among those whose best in
terests would have been served by a
cordial and harmonious support of
the institution. That she is amply
able, by concert of action, to liber
ally support such an institution as
was started, needs no argument of
ours to demonstrate. That a prop
erly conducted academy is immense
ly in advance of a common district
school is equally apparent; and,
had the “Standard” displayed its cus
tomary progressive spiritand clear
judgment, in this matter, it would
have sought out the real defects and
waged war against mast instead of
advocating e. return to the old dis
trict school. It is this insincere, sar
castic comment, bearing on its face
evidence of being repudiated by its
writer’s better judgment, that forces
upon us the conclusion announced
at the outset herein. We raise no
issue on the question of efficiency in
managing Union Academy, hereto
fore, although we believe the insti
tution has been far above the aver
age in this respect. If the “Stan
dard” wants to assail its manage
ment, why not do so flatly, and try
to place it in better hands? There
is,no excuse for counseling a retro
grade movement, and belittling by
inueudo those who are enterprising
enough to erect a fine building and
employ qualified professional in
structors therein.
WHY NOT ?—Why can we not
have an establishment in Port Town
send, where clothes may be cleaned
and dyed ? Such places are com
mon in both large and small cities,
and, besides being a public conven- 1
ience, are always a source of greater
or less profit to their proprietors.‘
We frequently hear the remark that
the “store-clothes” one buys now-1
a-days are usually so poorly dyed‘
that they soon fade and look rusty.l
The process of cleaning and dyeingl
such garments is simple end easy,l
and would make them look as good,
as new. The logwood end copperasj
are not at all expensive, so that the
main cost would be for the labor of r
the party doing the job. This being
the case, it can readily be seen that
even a comparatively light run of
trade would be remunerative to the
workman. A gentleman of our ac
quaintance says: “I knew of one dye
house near Boston, which was cele
brated as was also its proprietors.
Joseph Barrett 8r Son made a large
fortune—and the elder Barrett‘com
menced in a small way by cleaning,
repairing and dyeing garments, both
for ladies and gentlemen.” This
may, and doubtless would, prove a
lucrative industry in Port Townsend,
because, if it were properly carried
on, not only the home trade would
,be assured but orders would soon
come ill from other parts of the
Sound. Many garments, though lit
tle worn, are laid aside, given away,
‘ or sold {or a mere song at the auc
tion room—simply because they may
have become soiled or faded. This
would not be, to any extent, if peo—
ple were to find that by investing a
dollar or two for renovating pur
poses they eould still wear their gar
| ments without a consciousness of be
ing shahbily dressed. W's commend
this subject to our tailors and dress
makers “who may even now be cast
[lug about for ways in which to in
;_ crease their business.

Tum lire engine and hose, for this
city, have been telegraphed t'm‘liy
L'apt. 'l’ilrbals and are expat-toil hero
on tho l-lth inst., by ocean steamer.
Tho money for the enginn having
been raised by “Rescue Engine ('0”,
and by special tax on city property,
it remained for some means to he do
visod to purchase the necessary 400
feet of hose which would cost about
S4OO. Through the ell‘orts of Mes
scrs. 'l‘ibbals and Norris in soliciting
subscriptions, $2lO was raised a. few
days ago—enough to half pay for
the hose—and so we are now to
have the entire outfit. After it all
arrives, tharc will be another efl'ort
made, by getting up a grand hall,
to raise the necessary funds to pay
off all indebtedness in the matter.
Much credit is duo to those of our
citizens who have so industriously
labored to accomplish this objoct,
and who have contributed so freely
of their means therefor. It has no
cessitated great effort, especially as
there were 1 or 2 property owners
who did not contribute—except the
amounts forced by special tax—and
there were others who gave grudg
ingly and but little. However, for
the credit of the place, beit said
that nearly all wars very liberal. The
main effort and anxiety are over; the
engine and outfit are to come. We
are glad.
OUR attention has been kindly
called to the fact that the word Quil
lehute is hardly ever spelled or pro
nounced properly by white people.
It is commonly pronounced Quil-ly
yute,accenting thelast syllable; and
it has been spelled in various ways,
as, Quileut, Quilleute, Quillyhute,
Quillyute, &0., according to the fan
cy of the writer. The native Indians,
who named the river from their own
language, pronounce it Quil-leh-ute,
strongly accenting the second sylla
ble, and giving the first e the sound
of a. Our treaty with them gives the
word Quillehute, in the indeavor to
spell it just as it is pronounced. The
letters of our alphabet are intended
to be arranged so as to express cer
tain sounds; when we adopt an In
dian name we must also adopt the
Indian pronunciation, hence, in
Spelling an Indian word, we must
use those letters which will give the
nearest to the original ”sound. It is
hoped, in order to prevent the de
generacy of our language, that the
word will hereafter be spelled and
pronounced both uniformly and
properly.
